Where can you find soap carving templates?

As of November 2015, you can find soap carving templates at websites for the National Wildlife Federation, St. Charles Area Woodcarvers and Grandma Ideas. The NWF has a turtle template for children ages seven to 12. Kids soften the soap with water and carve the pattern with a small spoon.

The St. Charles site offers soap carving templates for many animals, including a polar bear, rabbit, fish, butterfly and whale. Other designs are a flower, heart, rocket and teddy bear.

Grandma's Ideas has nature-inspired carving patterns, such as a frog, moon and evergreen tree. The site also has templates for a train, car and heart.
